Hotel Fitness Center Review (Part One): Marriott Marquis
Location: San Francisco, CA (San Francisco Marriott Marquis)

We were gifted a hotel room here by our film client since we had a break during the day and were flying out that night. We made sure it paid off.

This used to be the COR Fitness Center center, but they closed on March 31, 2026. However, the hotel kept and maintained all the equipment, and they did a magnificent job. I am not sure if they still do memberships for non-hotel guests, though.

This was definitely one of the best facilities I experienced. Plenty of cardio and strength equipment. Even if one area was in use, there was flexibility in finding an alternative exercise for each muscle group. Whether you were a power lifter or just want to increase your cardiovascular health, you had something you can do and won’t have to stray from your usual workout program.

This was just the upstairs area, which included an outdoor space to relax and socialize. For a big city like San Francisco, this fitness center caters to those visiting and are looking some time to lift or run.

Verdict: 5⭐️ out of five

What do you think the lower level will feel like? Stay tuned for part two of this review next week!

For the past year, I’ve been building something that has become much bigger than a workout.

Sweat + Connect started with a simple idea: to bring people together through fitness, then give them a chance to actually connect.

After a year of events, new friendships, conversations, laughs, and a whole lot of sweating, I’m giving Sweat + Connect its own home on Instagram.

The new page will be about more than just our events. We’ll be sharing the people, businesses, venues, and experiences that make Cleveland’s active and social community what it is.

If you’ve been to an event, want to come to one, or just want to find more ways to get active and meet people in Cleveland, follow along: Sweat + Connect | Cleveland

Fun time celebrating one year of Sweat + Connect on Thursday! The weather didn’t stop us from gathering and working hard. The best part is what happens after the workout, where we gather with some snacks and relaxed conversation.

Come join us at our next one! More information early next week.

Never been to a Sweat + Connect event? Let me guide you through what to expect.

Sweat + Connect brings different groups of people together each month for a night of fitness, food, and socializing. It’s a relaxed environment where you work together and actually connect on the workout floor.

The Workout

Most workouts you will be in pairs and consist of a bootcamp-style workout, mixing strength with agility and plyometrics.

It doesn’t matter your fitness level. Modifications can be made with most exercises.

The Setting

Most events are held outside, especially during the summer so that you’re not stuck in a cramped space and can breathe freely. Of course, we are working on indoor locations for the winter.

The Games

What’s unique about a Come Prepared Fitness-run class or event is that we always play a game at the end of each workout, bringing a competitive edge to the festivities.

I believe fitness should be enjoyable and not just something you have to do.

The Post-Workout Mood

There’s always a cooldown period, but what makes it special is the presentation of The Belt, going to the participant who puts in the work throughout the workout. We also have The Chain for first-time participants to remember their first Sweat + Connect experience.

The Connection

We finish each event with a social where you can just relax and chat with your fellow campers. It’s a great way to share your experience with your peers, and you get some delicious food on top of it!

Today is the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, and Stonycreek Township, PA.

We remember the victims of the attacks, those heroes who fought and saved numerous people, and those who are still suffering from the effects today.

Never Forget.

You asked for it! The first Sweat + Connect for 45+ is set for Thursday, October 8, in Aurora.

I am happy to announce that Carrie Ann Wolford will be hosting this event at her space outside, and it will be very similar to the young professionals version.

Partner workout, fitness game, post-workout social and meal, and The Belt will be on the line.

Whether you are Gen X, a Baby Boomer, or even part of the Silent Generation, this gathering is for you and will be in a chill environment.
